<blockqiote>A large percentage of the Russian (and other) women living in Israel are shiksas.
But they are still a minority, by far.
Mr. Bear, not everyone merits the zechus to live in E”Y. Obviously, you don’t. There are many who do. I walk out to shule every morning, knowing I live in a place where many more mitzvot are incumbent upon me because I live in E”Y. I know that my mitzvot count fully, while the mitzvot of those who live in chu”l don’t. I’m sorry you feel the way you do.
You say that HKB”H didn’t give us the land, it was established by chilonim. Yet everything happens for a reason, and I believe that if we are here, it’s Hashem’s will. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t be here.
Your reasoning reminds me of the old joke about the man in a flood. People try to rescue him with a boat and a helicopter, yet he refuses, saying he’s waiting for God to save him. After he dies and goes for his true judgement, he complains to God that he was waiting for him to save him. God replies, “I sent you a boat and a helicopter. What more do you want?”
E”Y is the same thing. It’s obviously not perfect, but it’s here, despite the Arabs, despite the internal politics and strife.
